OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

N4M's Community GuidelinesandOPSEC.

~OPSEC OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmost importance.

~N4M’s also has Community Guidelines just like any other social media.

~Please take the time to read the OPSEC and N4M’s Community Guidelines.

~A quick note here, from the N4M’s CG’s:

• Don’t Jeopardize the Safety of Our Sailors: Remember OPSEC (Operational Security) (Don’t Sink Ships With Loose Lips) This site and all content posted on it are viewable to everyone on the Internet. This doesn’t mean you can’t share things about your Sailor – but too many details can put Sailors in harm’s way. The following are examples of red flags and should not be shared within this community either by posting or sending via a Group message:

• Sailors’ last names. This includes your username if you share the same last name as your son or daughter.

Some Suggestions:

~If your last name is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended for you to use in your username for your own personal security. This is your option. It is also not a good idea to use an email address as your username for personal security reasons.

~First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember, everyone can see it and someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture to not include your Recruit at least for the duration of BC. Again, your option

~It is also a good idea to make your settings for your Profile Page "viewable only to your friends"

Comment by diannep on May 14, 2015 at 5:22pm: 67firebird: The good part is that college can still be a part of his plans, but paid for by the Navy! They provide a way for them to actually take classes while enlisted.....my son met several who had obtained their Bachelors degrees while still in the service and were working on their Masters. With college educations so expensive now, it is wonderful that our military provides a way for their service men and women to get their educations! My son is now out of the Navy and just finished his Bachelors degree this past Dec using the GI Bill.....he was quite excited! All ahead for these SRs!

Comment by ProudHusband3 on May 14, 2015 at 5:19pm: Hello all, my wife is currently in Ship 03-Div 216. I know i am a husband but i have been reading here since she left on 4/27. Love the encouragement within the group. My son and I received our first actual letter today. Sooo excited
